Tottenham Hotspur have made an application to Haringey Council to increase the capacity of their new stadium by 441 seats, the club confirmed on Monday eveninig.

Work is ongoing on the £850m state-of-the-art stadium, which will play host to NFL games as well as boasting its own brewery, and it just keeps getting better for Spurs fans.

The additional seating would bring the capacity of the new stadium to 62,000 - second only to Manchester United's Old Trafford in terms of Premier League capacities.

Spurs are currently playing their home games at the 90,000 seater Wembley Stadium but are on course to move into their new home at the beginning of next season.

"The Club has applied to Haringey Council to increase the capacity at our new stadium up to 62,000," the club wrote in a brief statement on Twitter.

"We shall provide an update on this application as soon as we have further information."

The new stadium is set to be significantly bigger than White Hart Lane, although it is being built on the same site. With a potential capacity of 62,000, it far exceeds the maximum of 36,284 at the old ground.

Daniel Levy assured fans earlier this month that work remains on schedule as the club prepare for life in the unnamed stadium.
